The Grolleau from the La Ferme du Plateau winery is a genuine and artisanal red wine produced in the Loire, within the Touraine wine region. The Domaine is managed by Adrien Baloche and his wife Anne, with the former handling all aspects related to agronomy and oenology, while the latter has started a goat farm for cheese production. Of the owned hectares, 6 are dedicated to vineyards while the rest is used for orchards and gardens, as well as spaces for livestock, in a context of polyculture. The production philosophy is strongly artisanal, with minimal and targeted interventions and the exclusion of any synthetic chemical substances or oenological additives.
